The heating account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on July unless I pay $550. I have never been late before losing my job in May. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $90 first, which I don't have. I live with two young children, and going through summer without heating isn't safe. Without it we can't refrigerate insulin and food, or keep the house at a safe temperature. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here. Where the $550 goes: • Electricity arrears: $330 • Reconnection and late fees: $95 • Down payment on a payment plan: $125 Thanks for being kind about this. - Aaliyah

    You're not alone, Aaliyah. Hope you get there. After 6 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Oakland
